Got a serious question for you this morning.  Seriously.  No… I mean it.  Lets get sincere here.

Has anyone ever finished a entire thing of carmex?

I am about 2 weeks from doing so (just an estimate) and never in my life have I made it to the end.  I have seen the bottom a few times… like unwrapping a gift when that carmex breaks through and shows me that white container bottom.  What a feeling.  Then within days it vanishes.  Poof!

I don’t know where it goes, who ends up with it… perhaps there is a pit somewhere filled with the dying remains of all the unfinished carmex-es.  Probably nextdoor to all those socks lost in the dryer.  Or down the street from all those earring backs, hair clippies and all the other unsolved mysteries.

I’m finishing this one though.  Last time, and I do mean the last time I bought carmex… I made it to the bottom and broke through to the white land of glee… only to lose it again.  Not going to happen this time.  Por favor believe it.

Who better to get their thoughts on business than one of the most successful businessmen of all time?  Warren Buffett is a brilliant business man and shares his stories all the time.  I love how he always has some clever funny things to pop in when he is talking his talk - which makes him more down to earth than most uber-rich dudes.  If you have a bit, read through this article and see if you can expand your money knowledge.

Face of the Cookie

Another one of those blogs that I couldn’t quit reading the other day.  I think more than the content, the style of writing gets me stuck on a blog more than anything.  You know one of those blogs that you read and can almost hear the person talking even though you have never met nor heard them before?  This is one of those blogs.  This chick writes similar to how Heather over at Dooce does, funny - uncensored and clever all around.  Take a few pages to judge; you will be adding her to your daily reads in no time.

So I haven’t blogged in a couple of days, but thankfully I have a wonderful partner that has kept everyone up on our lives. 

I never got around to doing Fattracking Friday and the only excuse that I can think of is that I didn’t want to. haha.  I gained 0.2 pounds and am not happy about that, but I had to come out and tell everyone or the whole fattracking thing just wouldn’t be worth it.  Hopefully this week I will have lost that 0.2 plus some, but I am not holding my breath.  I haven’t done much better this week than I did last week.  I am determined to get back on track though.  Summer is coming so that means swim suits, shorts and tank tops.  All the things that scare me the most!

I haven’t really had time to do much decorating around the house, because as James said all of our time has been spent shopping for plants and getting them planted.  Since we weren’t in the house in the fall when we were supposed to plant all of our bulbs for spring bloom they just now got in the ground.  The tulips should be fine because I bought them back in January and kept them in the fridge, so hopefully they got enough cold to make them have full beautiful blooms.   I’m a little worried about the other two types that we bought, but one already broke the surface yesterday so they should be fine too.  If they all bloom like they are supposed to its going to be really pretty and add a ton of color to the front of our house.  I have to admit the front is a little boring at the moment.  We have even discussed putting another flower bed up beside the house but I’m not sure that either one of us can take more tilling or digging.  That little project might have to wait until next spring.

Sunday while the guys were trimming trees my Mom and I had a chance to just sit around and talk.  The weather was so pretty and it was nice to be outside getting a little time together.  We plan on doing that a whole lot more as the weather gets better.  It was so relaxing and I felt like I didn’t have a care in the world, well except watching the guys to make sure they didn’t get electrocuted while trimming trees. That in itself was pretty entertaining.  Something about handing a man a power tool turns them into a whole other person. 

It’s already Wednesday, so we are halfway through the work week!  The weather looks like it is going to be good again for the weekend so get outside and enjoy it, before those summer days of triple digits get here.

Remember when dogs didn’t go to the vet?  You just had dogs, they got ran over one day when they got out and you got a new one.  They ran wild out in the country, got bit by snakes, came home sprayed by skunks and they just went about life.  Those were the days…

When Mikey was about a year or so old he started limping and stuff and then wouldn’t even walk, so we took him into the vet and they took a look at it and they told us… get this…
